1. An essential part of a music video is the
costume because it creates meaning and also
makes up the identity of the characters of the
video. It also targets an audience as the dress
code is appealing and part of the audience may
identify themselves with the characters due to
having the same dress style.
3. I chose such clothes for the girls
because:
• They are feminine
• Sexy
• Would subscribe to the male gaze theory
• The leather jacket costume of the female
protagonist is mainstream and fashionable as
it is the song
• The clothes are predominantly dark because
of the morose tone of the song
5. • I chose such costumes for the band because
they are fashionable and quite conventional
for rock bands( shirts, t-shirts, leather jackets).
The colours are again rather dark which
subscribes to the nostalgic mood of the song.
